Has anyone out there got a good clear image of a Scania T-series?

I'm after one for my 'WebShots'.
I've seen quite a few over the past couple of months, but they're usually on the Motorways & inevitably travelling in the opposite direction.

I'd prefer an 'on the road' shot, it has to be a tractor unit, not a rigid.
Is that being too choosy?
Obviously You'd have to be willing to let me use it

Thanks, I'll have a browse of those later.

Saw another one this morning (on tanker duty) between jct 30 & 31 eastbound on the M62. Sadly I was heading west.

This is getting daft!

Earlier this afternoon I had a drive across to FerryBridge Services (A1/M62 interchange) to look for a 'T' in the truck park.

Couldn't see one, but as I was waiting to join the roundabout to head back up to the M62, guess what went past & shot off down the A1 southbound? :twisted: :twisted: :roll:

It was a white 4x2 tractor-unit going solo :roll:

Not a very common truck up here but ive got pics.
I'll look out the web site .

Bush Tucker Man · « **Reply #9 on:** January 12, 2005, 22:58:32 »

Add the Volvo N12 to the list please :D

That's a nice rigid.

There's a haulage company in Wakefield (near the M1 at jct39) with a gorgeous restored N10 tractor-unit, but it's kept under cover & out of sight (until 'show season' starts)

Might have to go & hunt it out

Found some in a couple of albums at Daves Images

:oops: :oops:
Just remembered.
There's a Scania main agent about 2miles away on the industrial estate down near the M62 (jct 31)
It might be a good place to go looking. :lol: :lol:

BIG_ORANGE_90 · « **Reply #16 on:** January 26, 2005, 09:22:02 »

I went down the other day, it's a huge yard but there was no 'T's in sight.

I was about to go in & ask in reception, when I remembered I'd forgotten the camera :oops: :oops: :oops: :oops:

Must be one of the best looking trucks in the country.
Barring some of the privately imported Kenworths & Peterbilts.

Seen them quite regularly on the M1, must have seen 3 today going up to Huddersfield. Not that easy to photo at 70 though

Bush Tucker Man · « **Reply #24 on:** March 02, 2005, 20:12:16 »

Well I was lucky with that one.
I was on the A1 (as I stated with the picture) & I saw it from a distance in a lay-by.
Quite by chance there was a layby opposite, so in I went.
Pulled my 'Hi-Viz' coat out of the back & slipped it on & went to take the picture.

Still, it's not too much fun wandering up the side of the A1 even for only 50yards, even on the other side of the armco.

Missed a 6x4 artic with a tanker on Tuesday on WoodHead Pass(A628). I'd seen it coming & set off running in the snow to get into a good position, as it was climbing up the drag towards the summit.
Just as it drew into shot, another artic came the other way.....

:roll:

Why don't you have a ride up to Birstall,theres a Volvo dealer there who may have an N series tractor unit in.

Here's another couple for you from my model collection

If you are ever in Glossop around teatime there is always 2 or 3 Tinnellys come through Glossop from Snake Pass, sometimes a T-Bar.
From Salters Brook Bridge drop down the valley and take the B6105 on the left at Crowden, only a couple of miles into town centre :D

Crossroads used to be Iveco & (before that Atkinson, I think)

The '4x41' used to be up at East Ardsley behind the butchers shop near the old transport cafe (now Chinese takeaway)

Andy, I knnw that road very well, it used to be on one of my cycling routes;
Wakefield, Denby Dale, New Mills, Holmfirth, Holme-Moss, Glossop, Snake Pass, LadyBower, Strines & Penistone.

But I'll keep my eyes open when I'm down there anyway
About a 75/80miles round trip (door to door) & about 5hours, not counting dinner/pot of tea en-route

discodaz · « **Reply #29 on:** March 07, 2005, 00:04:03 »

No Crossroads has always been Volvo, Northern Commercials & Archbolds
were Iveco, many moons ago I used to work for a firm that had a Fiat Daily LWB van,that was an absolute heap(lovingly known as the Filthy Fiat) it went to Archbolds for the MOT, it was so bad they hid it round the back :shock: !!!!
